Village speed cameras are relocated

Montgomery County Police took down the two speed cameras on Montgomery Village Avenue last week after they slowed the road's more than the 424,000 monthly drivers enough to warrant moving the cameras to two other spots, said Capt. John Damskey, director of the police department's traffic division.

The cameras were among the first to be installed when the county's program started in 2007 and are the first to be taken down. Damskey said the cameras caused a 67 percent reduction in northbound vehicles traveling more than 11 mph over the limit. The southbound flow saw an 80 percent reduction.

One of the cameras will go on the 18600 block of southbound Muncaster Road, between Rtes. 115 and 108. The other will go on Connecticut Avenue in Kensington, he said.
